Prima Marketing :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

Today I would like to share with you a fun project that I created for Prima Marketing blogged >>> HERE :) :) :)

Want to frame your friends? Let us show you how! Our fabulous Louise Nelson shares a fun, and easy, technique using our new Wire Thread to create photo frames perfect for hanging on your fridge!

Step-By-Step:

1. Gather your Prima frame packaging and wire thread. (Save resin frame for another project!)

2. Cut out the plastic-molded frame shape from the packaging.

3. Apply double-sided tape around the molded, plastic edges as shown. This will adhere your photo to the plastic.

4 & 5. Place photo face down on table. Remove backing from double-sided tape and adhere the plastic frame to back of photo.

6. To form the wire frame take a free-form approach and form the loops by hand or use a pencil to help you wrap the wire around to form loops.

7. To form funky, squiggly bits use a paper piercer and wrap the wire around the metal point several times.

8.  Repeat this process to form a frame to suit your photo and design.

9. Adhere the wire frame to the front of the photo by stapling it to the plastic backing.

10. Turn over and adhere a magnet to the back of the plastic backing with strong glue.

11. Complete by embellishing to suit your design. For these three frames I used some fabulous Cartographer SIIC’s, a bark heart shape, and an Optimist wood verse embellishment which I colored with a marker to coordinate with my wire frame.

Supplies Needed: 

• Product packaging [the packaging from the Prima resin frames is perfect]
• Your choice of Prima wire
• A selection of your favourite Prima embellishments [SIIC’s and Wood Shapes]
• Magnets
• Colored markers
• Strong adhesive clear drying glue
• Double sided tape
• Colored staples

Tools:

• Sturdy scissors
• Stapler
• Paper piercer
• Pencil

I do hope you like :)

Cheers and Happy Creating
